By Joel BuckleyI enjoy onomatopoeic words.Like plop.Splash.Meander.Squelch.Blubber.And roar.So here’s a poem using all of them.The ring dropped off her finger and plopped into the sea.He tore off his coat and gallantly followed it with a dramatic splash.It was lost.Swimming to shore and meandering through the squelchy mud, he stumbled acrossa whale being eaten by a lion.The blubber was roar.The end.Thank you.
